Chris,
The last 3 digits of your VIN. If you open up your maintenance manual you should see codes L908 which is the paint code for grand prix white and PJ which is the interior code for black/marble gray. If that is what you see then you are 1 of the 8 coupes.

"As for counts, I'm not yet done with the coupe registry but here is what I have:

Black/Light Gray (92-94.5)
Coupes - 4
Cabs - 8
Black/Marble Gray (94.5-95)
Coupes - 8
Cabs - 4 (1 with a black top, the other 3 with gray)

Jeff"

Is that 4 gp white on black/light grey coupes, and 8 cabs, or 4 coupes 8 cabs, with black/light grey interiors?

"Is that 4 gp white on black/light grey coupes, and 8 cabs, or 4 coupes 8 cabs, with black/light grey interiors?"

Remember, Black/light gray and Black/marble gray are very similar. You'll find the Black/light gray on the 92-94.5s and they use the "944 style" seats. The Black Marble gray are found on the "993 style" seats. Here are the numbers again but I found another one since my last post (I'll be done in September).

Black/Light Gray (92-94.5) coupes - 5
Black/Light Gray (92-94.5) cabs - 8 (all with black tops)
Black/Marble Gray (94.5-95) coupes - 8
Black/Marble Gray (94.5-95) cabs - 4 (1 with a black top, the other 3 with gray)

Thats on GP white, or just interiors with black/light gray black/marble gray? Sorry for the confusion, just not sure if you mean cars with that interior, or cars that are GP white on those interiors.

Ahh, I know what you mean. Yes, those are just GP white numbers. For the full North American 968 production line here is what I have on those (remember, coupes are 90% done but not all done).

Black/Light Gray (92-94.5) coupes - 43 (this number will increase as I'm finishing up the 93s)
Black/Light Gray (92-94.5) cabs - 61
Black/Marble Gray (94.5-95) coupes - 63 (this is the final number)
Black/Marble Gray (94.5-95) cabs - 60

92 Cab # 370

[jeff968]

"92 Cab # 370"

That makes you #310 out of 2,008 (cabs). Does your car have the recessed hood badge and the edged rear 968 emblem?

Thanks

[White968]

My last three digits are 103.

[jeff968]

"My last three digits are 103."

#2,018 of 2,234, 1 of 8 P5 grand prix white coupes with the balck and marble gray interior. I don't have a grand total on white yet but it is the third most popular color and will be around 280 coupes.

No. Somewhere in this cars life, it was hit in the driver front which probably took out the hood also which was replaced with a newer version and necessitated the car to be repainted also which is where the rear numbers were lost. Between me and the prior owner, we have spent over $15K on this car in the last 5 years. I've seen a 92 recessed hood on Ebay but it was in Portland. Thought about getting it .............but then....what for? When I sell the car, that hood won't mean much to the average buyer.

Thanks, I'm just trying to figure out exactly when Porsche made the switch. I know it was November/December 1991.

Awesome Jeff, What would we do without you?

Happy to help!

1994 Coupe. Last 3 digits 110. I am wondering if this a '93 sold as a '94?
Great work!

[tim944s]

So I guess that means #49 for '94, and #1307 in the production run.

[tim944s]

Correction. #50 & #1308.

[tim944s]

Jeff

I take it black/black had to have been one of the most common color combos?

[jeff968]

"Correction. #50 & #1308."

Almost, #50 1994s, #1,307 of the coupes. Black/Black, options are 17" wheels, full power driver's seat, painted crest center caps. This is a 718 car which means it was born a 1993 and reVINed as a 94. Let me know your production date (found on the driver's door jam VIN sticker, 3/93 or 4/93?) if you have a minute. I don't have the coupe registry done but almost. As you suspected, black/black is the most poular coupe combo.

Hi Jeff, Can you tell me anything interesting about my Amazon Green coupe? VIN WPOAA2969RS820146; Type 968 110; Engine/Trans M4443-42P G4400-10; Paint/Int L39A LC; options C02 030 231 331 403 418 437 454 490 650 718 15801. Mfr. date is 5/93. Originally delivered in Sept 93 by Brumos as a '94 (how did they do that?). From Florida the car went to NJ. I'm the 3rd owner in GA. thanks!
